My MacBook Pro just lost the ability to cut

My MacBook Pro just lost the ability to cut & paste as well as drag & drop. Any thoughts as to how this could simply stop working? Or how to fix?

Run the Network Diagnostics assistant. How far do you get?

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers

The speakers will have to be externally powered and have internal amplifiers. Is that the case?
Ciao.

2 small bulges on my macbook pro just above the speaker on the top right

"from right to left I'm looking at usb, hdmi, and sd card reader?"
Yes.
"Looks like there's nothing in the area to heat up."
Yup, so they're probably right, it was a mechanical pressure. I could see how that would happen if you had a USB plugged in and a cinder block fell on it.
"Apple is going to ridiculous lengths to promote thinner, lighter products over build quality."
Yes, the first time I saw these new MBPs I thought it was an Air!
Maybe if Steve was still around they would be making the tops out of a more rigid aluminum.
I had a friend out of college, a mechanical engineer. He was working for a major American auto manufacturer. He said his whole job was to design the stampings for the throttle linkage to use the minimum and to waste the minimum amount of material. Later he called me and said that they were going crazy with a recall and a redesign. The linkages got so thin that they were fracturing in normal driving and the cars would go immediately to full throttle.
Yah that would be bad.
So you could probably gently push that dimple back, being careful not to mar the surface. Then pray that one of those elements that comprise the top case fails!!

Bought a MacBook Pro Just Before the New Ones Came Out?

I'm just going to put this out there since every time Apple refreshes a product, we get the same questions:
+*1) I just bought my MacBook Pro a week ago. Can I exchange it for a new 2011 one?*+
In the U.S., Apple has a 14 day return policy. You may return your product at any point during that 14 day period. Apple's official policy is to charge a 10% restocking fee. However, they have been known to waive the fee... especially after a product refresh. There is no guarantee that they will do this however.
+*2) I'm so mad!! I just bought my machine in January and it's already obsolete! Now I feel like I have been cheated by Apple.*+
This comment comes up every time there is a product refresh. It can be frustrating when an updated version of something you spent a considerable sum of cash on is released shortly after your purchase. Just remember, at the time you made the purchase, you decided that the product you bought offered what you wanted at a price you were willing to pay. You haven't been cheated out of anything. You received exactly what you expected at the price you agreed to. Your machine does not become obsolete just because a newer model comes out. If the machine you purchased met your needs when you bought it, it will continue to meet your needs regardless of whether or not an updated version was released. If you are within the return period per #1 above, you may return your machine and purchase a new model.
+*3. It's not fair that Apple doesn't tell us that they are updating their machines. I would have waited had I known updated machines were coming out. I asked the guy at the store if there were any updates on the way and he said he didn't know.*+
Very few manufacturers make announcements about updates to their products. For computers, new processors, video components, chipsets, etc. are released at a blinding pace. It is expected that computer manufacturers will update their products regularly. If they don't, they simply won't be competitive. It tends to be more obvious when it comes to Apple products as there are only a few basic models (vs. the tens to hundreds offered by companies like HP, Asus, Toshiba, etc). Frankly, from a business standpoint, it also doesn't make sense to pre-announce updates as they will cripple sales of existing stock. Generally, before a product refresh, there are lots of rumors. A little research ahead of time will usually make it clear if an update is at least expected. Neither Apple store employees nor employees at other Apple Authorized Resellers have any advance knowledge of new releases. They may know about the same rumors that you'll find online, but they have no more concrete information than anyone else until an official announcement.

Does a MacBook pro 13 have the ability to convert digital audio to analog audio ?

I don't like clutter and would like my computer to do the job of a good DAC. What should I be considering to accomplish this?

Doing so requires software (and maybe hardware) that would not be included with a new Mac, but surely such software exists that would work on the Mac. Check MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

I just bought a new macbook pro, i lost my receipt which had a website on it that i had to go to were i would receive a code which i can redeem for the new mountain lion software. What do i do?

I am trying to use an external 3g modem made by Huawei model e173s-6 and when I do connect it on my usb port the macbook pro just do not recognize it. I own a 2012 model with mountain lion 10.8.2 . What should I do ?

I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images! Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

I recently destroyed my macbook pro and lost all my info. I need to redownload my programs. I bought CS5.5, but was upgraded to CS6 because it was purchased just a few weeks before its release. How do I do this? Thanks!

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
Why?

Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update. Is there a way to fix this? I've already tried resetting network. Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

csdwarf,
So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.
